A heavy Scotch Mist (should that be Finnish Fog?) hung over the site at Kaskinen at dawn. Well, I assume it did, dawn being at about 2am. Anyway, it was still the same a 6.30 when I decided to get up after a fitfull nights sleep. We had breakfast, fed the Mosquitos, got packed up and said our goodbyes to the very helpful campsite caretaker on this small and friendly site. His English was no better than my Finnish so, with some amusement, we'd communicated via an app on his phone.
We meandered through a few minor roads, then picked up the E8 north. It was another lovely morning. Traffic was light and we made good progress on the relatively empty, well surfaced thoroughfare between the forests and pastures. Sitting at an average speed of around 65mph sounds quite steady, but ask yourself if you'd achieve that on a British A road! They cut the forest well back from the road, which together with the flat topography, makes the sky look massive. The road is in superb condition, by passes almost every village, is awash with speed cameras (forward facing:-)) and dead straight for mile, after mile, after mile etc...The penalty you pay for this, however, is the monotony of travelling a long way on a road where the scenery varies very little. GIVE ME A DECENT CORNER FOR CHRIST SAKES!
We stopped for a sandwich on our own pier:
A big site with a municipal feel to it. Everything you could possibly need and few things you didn't. My least favourite so far.
The SGD thought it was the highlight of the trip......they had an Ewok sized toy for him to play on:
He liked it, but struggled to reach the controls.
Anyway, we have a particularly good day tomorrow.......you see I know this, because I'm a day behind with my publishing :-D
